I’ve been a photojournalist at various newspapers for more than a decade, spending the last half of that here at The Cincinnati Enquirer. I see photojournalism as a great tool for recording history and bringing an understanding of people, their experiences, and emotions to the eyes of others. When I’m not photographing, or shooting as we like to say in the industry, I can be found relieving my wife from chauffeuring duties of our six children to plays, sports, and Mass or making them some Italian food.  Here are a few images from some of my favorite assignments from this past year.
